Summary
By late 1936, the worst years of the Great Depression are over. Wealth has created new opportunities for Minnie: a beautiful home in California, a luxury car, the yearning desire by a handsome lieutenant, and the family’s summer retreat, which draws her like a magnet. Secrets abound. A hidden bohemian community of writers, poets, artists, and escapists is scattered across the shifting coastal dunes near the cottage.
In contrast to the seclusion of the cottage, Minnie’s screenwriter cousin introduces her to the intrigue and excitement of Hollywood. Dwayne warns her about the “ruthless” characters willing to do anything to satisfy their lust for fame, fortune, and forbidden pleasures.
A crisis forces Minnie to return temporarily to the South and the plantation. Hospitality greets her, but her guard remains razor sharp. Some past grudges will only be settled by the gun. Only Minnie’s character will determine her future.
